You waking up to a new month is not normal, so many people died in the last hour leading to the new month. So be grateful for being alive and being granted the opportunity to fix the lapses of last month. Do have a wonderful month.
@McKane in August 2021
As enticing as it is to think Bottas may be acting on team order to take out both Red Bulls I believe its nearly impossible for Mercedes to give that instruction. They've allowed their drivers free run all these years and only interfered on a couple of occasions. Even when the team was bothering on self destruct with Hamilton and Rosberg battles they never enacted any team orders. And, yes, Hamilton is way too good and too proud to accept someone to wipe out a rival in order…
Mercedes has made a couple of mistakes this season. They just made another one.
Max is under heavy bandages. Ham doesn't even know what's wrong with his car. He just can't get close to people. It will be a massive surprise if either of them makes the podium not to talk of winning the race.
Alonso just showed us why he is still a top draw in F1 despite not having the fastest of cars. Big respect to the man, Alonso.
The last two races is just one of the reasons why F1 will always be my darling. Carnage. Collisions. Late braking. One driver starting on the grid (lol). Alonso showing that he's still one of the best out there. F1 is intriguing and this season even more so with Red Bull and Verstappen finally giving us a proper title challenge. Meanwhile, congratulations to Esteban Ocon on his maiden F1 victory.
A Fantasy Premier League classic league was recently created for this group and just a handful joined so far. Those interested in FPL should endeavour to join and let us all have an even more interesting Premier League season with FPL to booth.
With new month comes renewed hope and opportunity to start allover. May we all come across the opportunities that will wipe away all the sorrows this year has thrown our way. Do have a blessed month.
Two weeks ago it was a collision. Now its a penalty to someone ahead of him on the podium. I'm very sure Lewis will not want the championship this way. Like I once said, he's way too proud to rely on "gifts" to win. I hope Vettel and his team wins the appeal. I prefer a fair win to a controversial one.
I missed out on the match between Arsenal and Chelsea yesterday as I was a little preoccupied with the F1 event. So as not to miss out entirely I chose to watch the highlights of the match this morning. Though the highlights may not be a total reflection of the game, what I saw was pretty damning for Arsenal. Chelsea could've scored five. Timo Werner was behind the Arsenal defence on at least three occasions. In fact, he should've scored at least one goal yesterday. As…
According to Daily Mirror, Man City is banking on Jack Grealish to drop a transfer request so as to get a deal done. What exactly is wrong with these directors? Aston Villa already signed Buendia and are about to sign Leon Bailey, two wonderful attackers. Why are they still holding Jack to ransom? Are we to say £100M is not enough to price Grealish away even if he still has 10 years on his contract? Players really need to stop signing long term contracts now for the sake of…
A lot of people at the top have somehow mastered the art of telling lies and they're willing to manipulate anybody to stay top. Unfortunately, with the amount of money moving around this is becoming a norm in football too. Messi was demonized by Bartomeu for trying to force an exit. Messi believed he had a gentleman's agreement. He wouldn't have made an official bid to leave if that agreement doesn't exist. But Bartomeu, a politician, manipulated the whole world to believe…
One consistent drop of water makes a mighty ocean. One consistent step makes a giant ladder. One consistent day makes a month. The month of August has already witnessed the rise of three consistent days. Gradually, the remaining 28 days will creep in and August will be over. Just as many have stopped keeping scores of a new day because its consistent so also they've stopped keeping count of the consistent things in their life. Gradually, the year will end and they will…
This has happened on multiple occasions now. At first I thought my account has been spam labelled until I was given tips for other posts. There is a channel here on Noise.Cash that whenever I post on it I don't get any tip for my posts despite receiving several heart emojis. Has anyone noticed this?
Transfer market is really a drama market. The drama and anticipation makes football all the more interesting, confirming it as the biggest and the most intriguing sport in the world. I was already anticipating Xhaka strutting it out for Mourinho at Roma this season. Guess what? He's about to extend his contract with Arsenal. Football, bloody hell!
Malmo 2 - 1 Rangers Everything seems to be working well for Rangers at this moment. Even when it looks like they will have a big mountain to climb at the Ibrox next week, Steven Davis' last gasp strike means next week should be relatively easy. I'll be going all in for an easy Rangers win next week. Can't wait to see these guys in the Champions League.
Fantasy Premier League If Chelsea gets in Lukaku this season he'll be my go to guy for premium cover in the forward department. It will definitely cost me as I already have Mason Mount drafted in due to his modest price and influence. I'm not really a fan of picking strikers and midfielders from the same team, except on rare occasions like that of Kane and Son from last season.
The life of a footballer is really a tough one. We go to stadiums to watch them every week, expecting perfection from them. Only the very few who are privileged to work directly with them knows that a lot of them do have very terrible periods in their lives. I was surprised when I saw an unlikely face playing for Chelsea against Arsenal - Zappacosta. What? I've not seen this guy play for a while. I'm very sure he would've probably forgotten the route to Chelsea's base in…
Looks like Arsenal are really hunting James Madison and he looks interested in the move considering Leicester are open to the deal. What baffles me is why would Madison wish to quit Leicester City for Arsenal? Since Madison joined Leicester they've ended the season ahead of Arsenal and they look better equipped to crack the top four after losing out consecutively on the last day of the season. What does Arsenal has that is enticing to James Madison? Prestige? Heritage?…
After much consideration I've finally started my P2E journey. I started with Boss Hunter and Splinterlands. I've ventured into Boss Hunter already and its fun. I'm a little scared of Splinterlands because it looks like it needs a lot of understanding to start. I'll be relying on you all to guide me. Thanks.
This transfer window is now getting very tasty. Kane wants a move; Lukaku wants a move; Messi (unbelievably) might be moving; Mbappe wants a move. This is just crazy. Man City may just be regretting buying Grealish with Messi now available. Or they might as well go all in for Messi and forget Kane. If Messi eventually leaves Barca, it's either PSG or Man City for him.
After considering so many conspiracy theories following the Barcelona announcement as regards the departure of Messi, I'll definitely be going with the idea that all this is a ploy targeted at humbling Javier Tebas and his La Liga rule. Tebas and the CVC agreement definitely didn't go down well with Barça. And from the statement we could see Barça directly blaming La Liga for a possible Messi departure. The transfer window closes on August 31. Barça still has three weeks of…
I've always known this day will come. I watch a lot of Premier League matches but for some reasons I don't even know the biggest boss of EPL. Yet, I know Javier Tebas very well. I know Bartomeu; I know Laporta; I know Perez too. La Liga has always been political; club elections are always defining. I remember more of the election campaigns and run-ins than the actual football season Barça had last season - the incessant discussions of Victor Font, the Bartomeu stand off, the…
According to SkySports Messi is close to agreeing a two year deal worth £25M a year after tax with an option of a further year. If he joins PSG will have Messi, Ramos, Neymar, Mbappe, Donnarumma, Veratti and some other players with huge contracts on their payroll. Ligue 1 and 2 couldn't even complete their season due to financial restraints and Covid-9 yet one of their teams is belting out huge contracts without remorse. Is PSG operating on a different Financial Fair Play…
If this Messi to PSG rumour becomes true I won't be a very happy man. I have nothing against Messi and PSG but my unhappiness will abound in the fact that Messi to PSG simply means Pogba stays at Man U for one more season. One more season of uncertainty. One more season of annoying performances and egotistical behaviour. One more season of bickering and one player and his agent holding the club to ransom. If Pogba stays its normal that Man U will offer a new contract all in…
For some reasons I feel I'm not making headway with Boss Hunter so I chose to start Splinterlands. After the tutorials I had my first practice and won despite not knowing exactly what I'm doing (lol). I will intensify my learning now so as to get what exactly I'm doing right or wrong. Do I have to purchase before making a headway or I can get it on time without spending a penny?
Well, nothing lasts forever and even the greatest of unbeaten runs in football always ends. Rangers 40-match unbeaten league run was ended today at Dundee United by a lone goal. Even though Rangers dominated the second half they conceded and just couldn't find a leveller. Attention now shifts to the must win Champions League qualifier against Malmo on Tuesday where they are trailing with a scoreline of 2 - 1.
Fantasy Premier League The first player I drafted into my midfield for FPL was Harvey Barnes largely because of his form before the injury and his modest price of £7.0. On today's showing so far he'll be good value for money this season and a very decent addition in the mid priced level. Let the season begins!
Community Shield Leicester 1 - 0 Manchester City A brilliant win for Leicester in the season curtain raiser. They had the better chances and should've scored earlier before Iheanacho's brilliant penalty in the 89th minute against his former club gave them the win. Not the strongest City side but a trophy is a trophy. And for a club of Leicester stature this is definitely a good addition to their trophy cabinet. I wish them a wonderful season and hope they finally crash the…
When you employ Mourinho you are not just employing a manager, you are also employing all the drama and craze one man can deliver on the touchline. And yes, your players will automatically start exhibiting some of those crazed attitudes. Mourinho's history is littered with trophies and also with unbelievable behavior of unprofessional attitudes. From inciting Madrid and Barca players against each other, to gouging Tito Vilanova's eyes, the list is endless. Even his players…
Watching Messi weeping profusely during his press conference reminds me that these players are also human. The cold blooded finisher who always act like ice is running through his vein when facing a goalkeeper wept profusely. I think its high time I admitted that this is no longer a staged political battle. As much as I will like to hold on to my conspiracy theory of this being a political warfare between Barça and Tebas, this battle may already be over. And yes, it finally…
Normal service is about to resume in Serie A this season. It took Antonio Conte two years to finally bring an end to the utter domination of Serie A by Juventus. Looks like that stoppage will only last a season as most of the actors in Inter's successful season are leaving. Antonio Conte already left in May. Achraf Hakimi is now in PSG. Lukaku is about to join Chelsea with a £97.5M deal already agreed. And now Lautaro Martinez is being strongly linked to Spurs. AC Milan…
Ronald Koeman has announced Sergio Busquets, currently the longest serving player in the squad, as the new club captain. This has all but confirmed Messi's departure from Barcelona. Their is no going back now. I wish Messi a successful journey ahead. Even at 34 he's a top drawer and will still be the best player anywhere he goes.
Finally, The Sun dropped the news I've been anticipating all window: Man U are ready to sell Anthony Martial for £50M with Inter looking to replace Chelsea bound Lukaku. If its in anyway possible I'll beg Woodward to slash the price to £30M so that he will be swiftly sent towards San Siro. Martial is someone with immense talent but lazy mindset. He needs to rediscover himself somewhere else.
Daily Mail reported that PSG are already distancing themselves from Pogba as they look to land Messi. Its just a pity that Paul Pogba is left with a year's contract. If he had two years this would've been the perfect time for Man U to play hard ball with him. But with him available to sign pre-contract in January Man U will either lose him for free or tie him to a huge contract. I won't rule out the possibility of him rejecting Man U's offer so that he can walk free and land…
Manchester United When Varane eventually sign the dotted line Man U will finally have that world class player that looked desperately missing. The team has done well with a couple of reasonable transfer signings in recent seasons to address key areas. Adding Varane and Sancho is a wonderful piece of job well done for reasonable prices too. Fernandes is the closest thing Man U had to a world class player last season. He eventually crumbled when fatigue set in. Now with an…
Lots of banter will definitely fly around during the season. I'm up for it. And I love being here. Thank you for this.
Aston Martin's challenge of the brutal DSQ handed to Sebastian Vettel has been unfortunately dismissed. Vettel was disqualified after it was claimed stewards could only extract 0.3 litres of fuel from his race car after the race although Aston Martin claimed he still had 1.44 litres in there. Someone is definitely telling lies. I feel really bad for Vettel here as he had an absolutely stunning race at Hungary. Losing 18 points to some arbitrary rules about fuel quantity…
The European qualifiers offer a lot of match up tonight. My main interest right now lies on the Champions League qualifier between Rangers and Malmoe at the Ibrox. Malmoe won the first leg 2 - 1 in Sweden and would've been a safe bet to qualify if they hadn't conceded a goal against Rangers. Rangers started the season very well but suffered a loss at Dundee United after their loss at Malmo. They actually played well in both games but suffered losses. I'm going all in for a…
Chelsea Lukaku is definitely joining Chelsea, that is no longer a secret. If Chelsea could be so irrepressible under Tuchel without a top notch centre forward, how definitive will they be with one as imposing as Lukaku? Before Tuchel, Chelsea had played 20 EPL games last season winning 8, with 6 draws and 6 losses. They scored 33 goals and conceded 23 in that period on an average of over 1 goal per game conceded. In comes Monsieur Tuchel the enigma. He improved the records…
With Messi joining PSG, the pressure is definitely on. Ligue 1 should be a walkover for them. Those French cups should follow suit. The Champions League? That is a difficult call. Yes, Messi is phenomenal but he hasn't won the Champions League in 6 years. That competition is a different ball game entirely. It's not for the squad with the best players, it's for those with the best team where everyone works together. Chelsea doesn't have the best players last season, yet they…
Solksjaer just confirmed Sancho will start against Leeds. With the mass attack style of Leeds they'll leave tons of space for Sancho to exploit. At £9.5 he's my go to man for Man U's midfield cover this weekend. I'm considering adding Greenwood ahead of Jota (I have Salah) as he will have game time due to Rashford's injury. Don't know if he will start ahead of Martial though.
ASTON VILLA Three EPL teams surprised me last season: West Ham, Leeds and Aston Villa. Out of the three Aston Villa were probably the one with the lowest profile. That made their actions even more surprising as they barely escaped relegation on the last day of the previous season. Jack Grealish was the main man but he's now left for Man City. But it is their transfer dealings that is getting me excited about their prospect for the new season. They have drafted in Danny Ings,…
Chelsea play Villarreal in 15 minutes. Even though Chelsea are clear favourites English teams have always found it very tough against Spanish oppositions in Europe. I'm not expecting a straight forward Chelsea win tonight. This influenced my betting decision as I'm going for the corners market with over 10.5 corners priced at 2.37.
What now for La Liga For 9 straight seasons I didn't miss a single El Classico either it's played in the morning, afternoon or middle of the night. El Classico defined football at its best and worst. It was an intense rivalry championed by two superstars: Messi and Ronaldo. And then, Ronaldo moved to Juventus. Since he left I've not watched three El Classicos live. The interest and intensity is just not there. Now that Messi is gone what will happen to Liga? First off, La…
ONE MORE DAY TO GO A Fantasy Premier League mini league was created here a couple days ago. I'm sure those interested already joined. However, fantasy football goes hand in hand with discussions and banters. Considering the recent increase in the amount of posts here (which will definitely increase once the season is in full swing) adding fantasy football jibes and discussions will only drive it overboard. This will harm the wonderful channel we have here. To avoid that a…
Leicester City Once again Leicester City overachieved last season. They won the FA Cup and lost the Champions League spot on the last day of the season. The fact that they were disappointed at the end of last season shows how far they've come. Last season injuries did a number on them. Evans was out; Soyunçu had his spells on the sidelines too. Injury to Ndidi left them open in the midfield. They lost their best player, James Justin, to a lengthy injury. It got worse when…
WEST HAM At some point last season, I made sure I watched every West Ham's highlight if I miss their live matches. That was how impressive they were going from a team with little to no reckoning to a team I wanted to know everything about. West Ham were the biggest surprise of last season. Even more surprising was the fact that a David Moyes team was playing such intriguing football away from his bland, horrible style of play. When West Ham splashed the cash to get in…
I joined very late last season but I'm starting right on with them this time. It is Fantasy5. More like Fantasy Premier League but this time you get to choose five players who will outdo the points set by their system from selected EPL games every game week. Check it out. You may just win one of their outstanding prized money.
I'll be starting my assault on this season's FPL with this team. The issue with FPL isn't the start, it's always toward the tail end. Hope we all have a wonderful season. Picture Credit: Fantasy Premier League
A Brentford win last night on most bookers list was around 4.3 odds. I feel stupid for not going all out for that bet right now. Should've known Ivan Toney and co will bully those Arsenal boys.
On the look of things Ben White may be the first player to suffer a price drop. He was bullied all through last night. His next game will be against the fast and bulky Lukaku before playing Man City. He's off my team already.
Over 60% captained Salah for this gameweek - myself inclusive - overlooking Fernandes for the armband. The only reason why I'm not going crazy right now is because some hours before deadline I didn't even have Fernandes in my team. Choosing him ahead of Sancho in the dying minutes is my only consolation for now except Salah scores three against Norwich too.
Manchester United's match surprised me yesterday as both teams racked up corners in the first half. With the tricky Jadon Sancho about to get regular game time I'm expecting the high amount of corners to remain all season. I'll be focusing a lot on the corners market this season.
Bruno Fernandes struggled at the Euros and got dropped from the starting 11 yet he's started the new season on fire. And yes, he is very good but is still not rated as one of the best attacking midfielders out there. He has being at the top for two years now and he is still not mentioned in the same breath with the likes of De Bruyne. People only notice the amount of penalties he takes; nobody talks about the amount of chances he creates. I know De Bruyne is ridiculously…
For the purpose of predicting players whose value may rise or fall, Fplstatistics.com is your plug. They use algorithms to predict price change. This should help in making wise transfer decisions. According to them Pogba and Fernandes should gain £0.1 anytime from now. So if you want any of them make the transfer now before their price increases. And Aubameyang is moving fast towards a price drop. If he is continually sold he should suffer a price drop before the next game…
When I saw Wolves team sheet against Leicester City on Saturday I thought I was seeing the display of a FIFA 21 match instead of a real life football match. Why would anyone wants to start Adama Traore from the left? He has played either as a right winger or a right wing back most of his life. When the game ended I started asking myself serious questions. Is this the year Traore finally becomes a respected forward? Is Bruno Lage the man to unshackle him and turn him to a…
Looks like Arsenal will finally lay their hands on Ødegaard. Despite the signings they still look a lot like an average team in the likes of Everton and Aston Villa. They got Partey last season to address the weak midfield. They've brought in White and he's already looking like a failure after just one game. At Brighton, White played in a 3 man defence where his lack of height is easily shielded. We've already seen Toney bully him. The worry is how long will it take before…
So Lewandowski wants a new challenge at the ripe age of 33. Bayern are definitely not willing to let go by slamming a whooping £100M on him. I believe if Ronaldo can be sold to Juve at the same price and age their is no reason why Lewandowski can't command that sort of fee. Asides Ronaldo and Messi, Lewandowski has been the most consistent player in Europe in the last few years. Also, he takes good care of his body and doesn't rely on speed to play. With this he can easily…
I sincerely don't know what's going on in the minds of Ceferin and his cohorts when they created this very absurd competition termed as Europa Conference League. Europe is still trying to understand the Nations League and now they're shoving Europa Conference League down our throats. Europe is the only continent with two national tournaments: Euros and Nations League. The Europa League is already a burden for the big teams. Adding some Europa Conference League to the mix…
Lingard is reportedly considering a move away from Man U if he is not assured of first team opportunities. Sancho wasn't at United last season; Pogba wasn't playing from the left of a front three too and yet, Lingard couldn't force his way into the first team reckoning. Dan James even started ahead of him against Leeds. If he stays Carling Cup, the early rounds of FA Cup and some substitute appearances will be his lot all season. He'll be rotting away on the bench all season.
I kept faith with Ivan Toney despite that he blanked against Arsenal. I kept faith with Ben White even though he won't come near my 11 for the next 2 games. If Toney blanks today he's off. I'll keep White for now. He's reasonably priced for an Arsenal defender (They'll tighten up at some point as the season progresses).
It's safe to say that Diogo Jota is now firmly ahead of Firmino as the lone striker at Liverpool. For all the noise about Firmino being the glue that binds the Liverpool front three together, he was swatted aside way too easily by Jota. Firmino is undoubtedly good, but he doesn't score as much goals to be considered an elite striker. He has always being the weakest of the vaunted Liverpool front three.
Arsenal Vs Chelsea is today. Chelsea looks really scary right now. The whole world is expecting them to thrash Arsenal at the Emirates. For some reasons I can't even explain I believe Chelsea will not win this match. And yes, I'm definitely alone in that reasoning. Part of me points to the unexpected Spur's win against City as the justification for this irrational thinking. But then, Spurs have Son and a strong defence core. Who does Arsenal have to stop the rampaging Lukaku…
Wolves vs Tottenham Adama Traore will once again start in an attacking three with Trincao and Jimenez. If he makes the kind of runs he made at Leicester that led him to plunder 6 shots on goal, my eyes will be firmly on him for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Harry Kane could only make the bench. Of course, Nuno will claim he is not match fit. Benching Kane definitely has a lot more to it than his match fitness. Let the Kane saga continue!
Livramento, a £4.0 priced defender will start his second consecutive match for Southampton. He is preferred ahead of Kyle Walker-Peters who is fully fit yet again. If you need a budget defender this guy should be on your watchlist.
If anybody wants to know why Martial will never be the number 9 to lead Man U to glory, just watch the first half of Southampton vs Man U. He was totally clueless on the pitch. Like he doesn't even know where to stay to get the ball.
As long as Man U continue to persist with a manager like Solksjaer they will never win the league. Virtually every position in the team has been strengthened yet they looked average against a Southampton team that is one of the relegation favourites. It's only just two games but anyone harbouring hopes of Man U winning the league this season is clearly deceiving himself.
Just two games into the new season and the league table is already taking some serious form. Looks like it's going to be a three way battle for the league this season. Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool looks like the contenders. As for Man U, they should fight Leicester and Spurs for the last UCL slot. Man U were flattered by their second position last season. We all forgot that Lampard nearly ruined Chelsea and Liverpool had gluts of injury. Normalcy has resumed now for…
West Ham are definitely not messing around this season. After gathering wonderful attacking players in the past years they're now playing the football the fans want. 8 goals in two games is just unbelievable.
Two games in and I'm already thinking of wildcarding my FPL team. Trent AA is a must! Lukaku is a must!
Chelsea's transfer activity is just unbelievable. Since Marina Granovskia took over transfer proceedings Chelsea has been utterly dominant in the market. They mark a player, go all out and get the player remorselessly. That woman must be a very skillful negotiator. The same German market that priced Sancho at £120M leaving Woodward and co with their tails between their legs is that same market Marina swooped in to price away high flyers Kai Havertz and Timo Werner without…
Premier League clubs won't be releasing their players in the oncoming international breaks for matches that will be played in red-zoned areas. It was unanimously agreed. Though some countries will be livid with anger this is the right thing to do. Players that travel to red zoned areas will have to stay away for around 10 days thereby missing out on at least two games.
Football can be so unbelievable. We all thought Messi will join Guardiola at Man City. He surprised us all by joining PSG. Now news is rife of Ronaldo joining Guardiola at Man City. Considering the rivalry between United and City and the iconic status Ronaldo has at United this looks totally wrong. But then, football has a mind of its own. And these footballers are professionals first who needs to work in an environment they deem fit for them. I'm not expecting this Ronaldo…
Now that Kane will be forced to stay for at least one more season at Tottenham, what happens next? Will City come calling this time next year or will Man U join the race to sign him? A lot of blame will be passed around by Kane's representative but the blame lies solely with them. What were they thinking when Kane signed a six year deal with no buyout clause or formal release agreement of any sort? They relied on a gentleman's agreement? If anything, Messi's issue with Barca…
This is not a cultured way to deal with people. This is a really disgusting tweet from the brother of PSG owner taking a swipe at both Real Madrid and Gareth Bale. UEFA will not look into this but they will be quick to sanction a player who speaks a lot. Picture Credit: Internet
Daily Star reported that Jesse Lingard is now "likely" to join West Ham this very summer. This is indeed a welcoming news to start this day for me. Lingard is a hugely popular dude at United. And with what he did at West Ham keeping him on the bench will only lead to squad unrest and unending questions for the manager at every press conference. I wish Lingard well and I hope he joins West Ham and have a very wonderful season. He is a lively and lovely dude and he's earned my…
Former Ghana and Chelsea midfielder, Michael Essien will be conducting the Champions League draw today alongside Branislav Ivanovic. The start of Europe's most important club competition is near. Wish your team good luck/draw.
400 subscribers and counting. Congratulations to every subscriber who has made this place beautiful. Thank you @plints for this wonderful channel of yours. It's really a place to be.
Scott McTominay has just undergone surgery on a persistent groin injury. Their is no timeline to when he'll be back but he will at least miss the next match against Wolves and the international matches coming up after. He was omitted from Scotland's squad for the upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifiers this September.
Is their any sport related blockchain game right now? I'm really interested in such.
The last time I held my phone the media was agog with news of Ronaldo heading to Man City. I checked SkySports now only to see that he's actually close to agreeing a deal with Man U. Am I actually dreaming right now or what? This is definitely the purest definition of "out of the blues."
Yes, we are back because the break is over! Belgium is hosting us this weekend. As excited as I am about the next instalment of the Max vs Lewis battle, Sebastian Vettel is definitely getting my ultimate attention this weekend.
For some reasons I'm not totally hyped up about this Ronaldo to Man U thing. As a Man U fan, I'm not interested in the immediate swing of mood from utter disappointment at seeing him don a Man City jersey to the elation of him wearing the red again. The fact remains that if City had agreed to his demands he would've joined them. As far as I'm concerned that is sacrilege. Ronaldo retains my respect but if he eventually joins Man U, I won't be overjoyed because he could've…
If a have a storage of breath somewhere it would've been drained by now because this summer transfer window has totally taken my breath away. Rumours turns to reality like a flash. Ronaldo's move has seen Hazard and Aubameyang linked to Juve as replacement. Mbappe's impending Madrid move has seen Haaland linked to PSG and Hazard linked with a move back to Chelsea. All these sounds preposterous with just few days to the end but when you realise Ronaldo to Man U took less than…
The betting odds of Arteta getting sacked before December looked very enticing on the bookers website. I considered it for some time. How I wish I followed through with it. It's going to be a miracle if Arteta is still at Arsenal by January.
This non stop rain will definitely make things very tricky today. Perez is the first of many likely crashes. It only add to the intrigues of F1.
A win nonetheless for Man U but they were extremely lucky. Abject display from a team that was supposed to be fighting for the title. If Ole continues as manager this team is definitely not winning the Premier League title, even if Messi and Neymar joins Ronaldo at Man U.
With the transfer window heading for a closure tomorrow Daily Star is reporting that Man U will invite bids for Dan James. Why is this just happening now? Lingard is stuck in the team and not playing despite the absence of the injured Rashford and incoming Ronaldo. He's not going to play if he stays. The game against Wolves clearly shows why Man U needs a commanding DMF as Fred was given a run around by Traore and Trincao. Yet there is no talk of a commanding midfielder…
Recently, RB Leipzig has joined Dortmund in providing competition to Bayern's dominance of Bundesliga. It always breaks my heart whenever I see top players moving from any of these two clubs to Bayern. When Dortmund was at its peak, Bayern nicked their most important players and diluted their quality. They're doing the same to Leipzig. Bayern already snapped Leipzig's young manager and Upamecano. Now they're about to sign Leipzig's captain, Sabitzer. It just looks like the…
When Messi was at Barcelona most people said he is the reason why Griezmann is not playing well. At Euros Griezmann was easily the poorest attacker for France despite playing in his favoured role. Messi is now at PSG but Griezmann is still shunning out terrible displays for Barca. Without Aguero, Griezmann is supposed to be the most influential attacker on the pitch. He's been the worst. Even the often derided Braithwaite is way better. Man U really dodge a bullet by not…
So I finally made the 550 ARC needed to make withdrawals on Boss Hunter and was excited only for me to get to the withdrawal page and learn that the limit is now 1000 ARC. I will work my way up to that limit, get my coins and move on to the next game. My effort won't go to waste.
When I saw Real Madrid placing a bid of over £100M for Mbappe I felt uncomfortable. They increased the bid but Leonardo and his bosses were busy shitting their pants and messing around on Twitter. It will be a shame if they go back with the €200M PSG wants. Why pay so much for a player you can have signed to a pre-contract as early as January? Mbappe is a game chamber but Madrid are not totally struggling in the attacking department. Play Bale and Hazard for one more season…
The day I always look forward to every summer is here - the transfer deadline day. This is the day where the impossible becomes possible. A day where one player gets announced by two clubs. Such a day like this back then, Chelsea already printed Robinho's no 7 jersey only to see him announced by Man City. Tottenham already had medicals with Willian only to see him smiling at Chelsea. Some players do even take laws into their hands and drive to the clubs they want to go…
In transfer deadline day mood, Daniel James has left Man U for Leeds. It's a permanent deal worth €25M. It should be a good transfer for Leeds and James because James stretches opposition defence just the way Bielsa wants. With James gone, I hope Lingard follows suit. They should move to clubs that offer them a realistic chance of game time this season.
